Susan Estrich is such an angry, predictable partisan most of the time. And, to my mind, her last name just begs for manipulation. Estwench? Estwitch? Oestrus? Ostrich?
I’m sure others, which catch something of her blindly partisan approach will occur to the clever minds of FR.
Unfair? Oprah’s whole life and persona is one big marketing opportunity. Between her mag, her show, her book club — it’s a cult of personality much like the other “O”’s rise to fame.
I’m sorry — you cannot separate Oprah the Citizen, and Oprah’s Media Empire.
Oprah can use this silly rule of hers all she wants. But when she publicly tells everyone how she “cried her eyelashes out at Obama’s speech”, she is not too subtly using her celebrity — and thereby her show to promote Obama.
Like I said, this is a lose-lose situation for Oprah — but she couldn’t help herself but to promote a Black candidate. Even though he’s an empty suit and totally unqualified.
The smart thing to do is not to have taken sides in the Hillary vs. Obama debate. The wondrous thing is that she probably thought this whole thing would have blown over after the primary. But McCain chose a woman for Veep!!!
She dug this hole for herself, and just from my own personal circle I know a bunch of ladies who will never watch another show again.
Funny, where would Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton be if David Letterman didn’t allow Barack Obama on his show?
Barry is going to lose. I feel better about that.
I live in Oakland, CA where there are many Obama supporters (to say the least). I fear the riots when the Marxist empty suit loses.
